QUEIDEM

Their debut LP, the fantastic “Evitaremos todo mal,” was hailed by many critics as one of the best albums released in 2023 in our country. Even the always exquisite Rockdelux succumbed to the evidence. Valencian Raúl Martí, aka Queidem and based in Madrid, combines his role as a tortured glam flagbearer for Generation Z with a handful of well-assimilated influences—James Blake’s minimal dubstep expression, Erik Satie’s slow-motion piano, or the perpetually wounded intensity of Thom Yorke—to find a unique voice.
